Educa For Schools

Streamline sharing with families, support teacher registration.

Make Families Part of the Learning

Educa is a communications and documentation platform, founded in New Zealand in 2010. We started in early education and now provide an online service (with phone apps) to serve primary and secondary schools in New Zealand, Australia and worldwide.

Share with families in one place — individually or collectively

Teacher portfolios – for inquiry, registration

Planning, forms, soft skills reporting and other online documentation available

Educa serves over 1,400 schools and early childhood centers primarily in New Zealand and Australia. We are a standalone solution that works for any school in Australasia. We are partnered with MUSAC to create added efficiencies for NZ schools.

Save Time With Group & Student Updates

Share small samples of learning frequently using student-initiated posts and group observations written by teachers that post to individual student portfolios. Families can also contribute learning examples.

Manage Teacher Registration

Bring your teachers together in one system — they can share evidence and resources, and schools can see where teachers stand. More here

Curriculum Links - Meaningful Sharing

Link stories, including stories by students, to school curriculum goals, key competencies or plans. Stories start meaningful conversations with parents, extended family and specialists.

Teacher Portfolios Educators Will Love

Each teacher has a private portfolio. Linking to evidence in Educa makes it quick and efficient. Accepted by the Education Council.

Control Access & What Goes Out

Post Policies and Resources

Share policies with teachers, parents or both in the Policies module. There is a Resources section also – upload resources, such as school forms or info for parents or reference materials for teachers.

Reporting Soft Skills

Because anything shared with parents can link to any objectives, including soft skill measures, Educa collects data for reporting on soft skills. We are working with several Australasian schools on report formats.

Announcements & News

Send messages to parents that will be read. When parents login, the message board is their first screen.

Is parent communication taking too much time?

Replace email, paper and the rest. Reach parents through one easy channel that goes to their phones.

Special Use Cases for Educa

What customers are saying

“Educa is exactly what we have been asking for. We've tried a number of options for sharing learning and engaging parents and this is by far the best. It's simple to set up and use and our teachers love it. You can quickly and easily add links to curriculum and key competency goals, and families can also post learning stories. Most important of all -- our parents love it and are engaged in their child's learning."

Karen Tabuteau St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Rotorua

“We could see that 98% of parents had connected. This was much higher than expected and reassured us that we could use Educa as a main source of communicating.”

Donna Clark Special Needs, NaeNae College, Wellington

'Educa is a great way to capture learning moments, and as a teacher, it means I can reflect on the learning and come up with ideas collaboratively with family and colleagues to extend and support the development of the individual child."
